Why is my microwave sparking and making noises when there's no metal in it?
We havent put metal or spilled anything in the microwave. This microwave is brand new and its sparking when we put food in it. We had another microwave a couple of weeks ago that we threw away because it was sparking and making weird noises. What is causing these microwaves to spark and make noises, they also turned black in the corner inside of it. Why is the new microwave doing this and why did outr old one do it when we havent done anything wrong with it? Could it be the plug on the wall we are using?

If your microwave is old, Then it's time to get a new one. Do not keep on using it if it sparks as this can be a fire hazard.
Sparking could be caused from split wire or a spill that has leaked into the back of the microwave etc. If it is a new one, Return it and get it exchanged.

Well, if you think it's the plug, try running it in another plug (on a different circuit). Make sure the dishes you're using don't have metal of any kind. Many fancy plates have shiny patterns or edges, and those coatings can contain metal.
It's also possible that it's just a coincidence. Old microwaves can spark and make noise, and you could have gotten a new microwave that is defective. You should be able to exchange it for a new one.
